"Games of the North: Playing for Survival," a collaboration of the Alaska Native Heritage Center, Starseed Media and Native American Public Telecommunications, features past and present stars and competitors, including Brian Randazzo, Jesse Frankson, David Thomas, Liz Rexford and Robert "Big Bob" Aiken. The documentary was shot in Barrow, Point Hope and Southcentral Alaska.
The 26-minute film links the games with their practical origins: Staying in shape in close quarters during the winter, signaling hunters and helpers from a distance, sneaking up on game, transporting it back to a village and leaping between ice cakes over freezing water.
